A drawing of my sweet Tav Neklac who always looks prepared for the runway no matter the circumstance

(plus some photos as evidence because I love my son)

Halsin dropping hints and then going ANYWAY

I've been playing so much Baldur Gate I haven't even thought about posting except to share my shame. Because for the second time, I failed to properly romance the character I wanted and had to double back to a save from HOURS ago and redo everything before just so I could romance them correctly. And the first time wasn't even IN BG3.

#a text post #from moi?! #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 astarion #yes #i am outing myself in thwse tags #for more info #the other character was Garrus Vakarian of Mass Effect fame #and literally i was thinking oh im getting so close to the romance #and then nothing was happening in the final act and i was like ??? #come to search and find out #i had friendzoned him #(only justifiable application of the word as these characters are fake) #and i was like #TOT #I managed to get everything back but FUCK #im also doing a durge run for the first one #for....reasons

[grin-unsettling]

i see, so poly romances were a lie

#sleeping with halsin while being in a 'serious' relationship with a single other companion is NOT poly 😐 #listen i just wanted my TAV to be sandwiched between two stronk ladies (karlach and lae) is it too much to ask he's a good boi 😭 #i kind of get it lae is just like that but also it was kind of funny how literally everyone else instantly backed off 😅 #including astarion and shadowheart #and karlach said it broke her heart this game instantly put me off trying to romance more than 1 LI at a time forever i guess #gonna go back to my d.urge playthrough and figure out the single companion i wanna romance #yes i am playing 2 playthroughs at the same time what about it yes i was in act 1 for 2 weeks #i am about to start a 3rd playthrough even #tho in co-op with a friend #lie.txt

I'll protect you.

#tav #baldur’s gate 3 #bg3 #my boy 🥹 #also yes this is my oc atlas but i made him my guardian in another oc’s playthrough because i just needed to see him in this outfit LOL #HE JUST LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL #all the guardian scenes are so pretty #i was gonna romance shadowheart in his actual playthrough but then astarion came up to me first and i just couldn’t say no #call me weak i don’t care i will not apologise for who i am #🫡 #so now he’s with astarion and my next female oc will be with shadowheart instead hahaha #my edits #my screenshots

[coffeenonsense]

thanks to the bg3 developers i didn't NEED to know what it's like to be tantalus on a soul deep level but bc of this astarion person I am consumed with the kind of yearning that can only be expressed via greek tragedy. to be clear i have yet to play a single minute of this fucking game

#am i about to buy a video game just to romance a fictional emotionally damaged blond guy? yes. #yes i am about to do that #HE'S HOT OKAY #half of the yearning is bc i can't actually get the game until next month at the earliest #the other half is. you know. the reasons #in fairness by far the quickest way to get me interested in something is to introduce a broody tragic vampire with emotional problems #astarion #baldur's gate 3 #bg3

"but i know that this? .. this is nice"

#hystii #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #astarion #i love him with all my heart #yes i made my tav a version of myself #... she's wayy cuntier than me but #oh well #im playing as the dark urge too as a fucking bard #it's hilarious #and i worship selune somehow #shadowheart doesn't like me that much but i am in love with her #i want to romance everyone and then settle down with astarion how do we do that ethically and not in a way that makes everyone mad at me? #callmehysteriia #mine #my gameplay #bg3 gameplay #bg3 screenies #bg3 screenshots

[veilkeeper]

astarionmancers help me

the internet is being unhelpful. if astarion propositions you BEFORE the tiefling party can you say no and still have him ask at the tiefling party or does it lock you out of the romance.

#i am asking because i dont think roz would say yes that early #but if it locks out the romance then they WILL #astarion #astarionmance #bg3

did you know that if you sell a baldur's gate 3 merchant a pouch, and put all the shit you want in the pouch, you can loot the pouch with all of its contents if you kill the merchant

#talking to myself #bg3 #listen dammon has good stuff and i don't want to miss out just because he's gonna die when i raid the grove #and yes i am starting my SECOND evil run not JUST to bang minthara again but also because it's fun #romancing ascendant astarion this time lmao #i have him ascended in my other evil run and he's insufferable so like i can't NOT fuck him

[witchcraftingboop]

As of last night, I'm finally in Act 3 of BG3. Unfortunately, my brain has since been nearly fully wrapped up in the idea of making a drow sorcerer and becoming an iconic lil lesbian war mongering couple with Lae'zel in my next run

#on one hand beat BG3 soonish #on the other lesbian power couple that mutually despises most others #on the other other hand I'll have to kill astarion so there's 0 chance of another romance run with him 😂 #bg3 #many thots many ideas v lil follow through (hopefully) #also! for the record! I am obsessed with kitty 😭🫶 love my lil four legged bb #if anything happens to them I will kill everyone in the building and then myself (yes I'm aware they're an intellect devourer idc)

[druidic-drow-thorri]

Me: *knows from previous playthroughs where the dialogue option is headed* We just wont talk about it. *avoids clicking that option*

Lae'zel RIGHT after the fight with the Hag: (!)

Me: *thinks she has some important dialogue*

Lae'zel: Guess what, bitch? We *ARE* talking about it!

Me: Fuuuuuck.... *proceeds to feel bad if i reject her, so instead has a onenighter with her, then breaks it off because Im romancing Astarion but he's still in the 'manipulate the Tav' stage of the situationship* I.....am the absolute worst person....*remembers how a friend made choices that led her to killing the two tieflings who captured Lae'zel* ...ok maybe Im not the absolute worst person, but close....

for me… FOR ME..!!! and for shri’iia specifically the lock in for astarion’s romance is his graveyard scene in act 3.

i think it is too quick for shri’iia to be moving on to another relationship considering her previous one was with her mistress who essentially groomed and isolated her for like … more than hundred years. learning to chase her own desires and not moulding herself to what anyone wants her to be is something so new to her…!!! and something that she’s still learning how to be comfortable with….

and what I like abt romancing astarion with her is that I usually go for the dialogue path in his act 2 confession scene where you can ask him:

- what do YOU want to do?

and he goes like honestly idk what we’re doing but /this/ is nice. it just feels like two people exploring the option to love for the first time and taking things in their own pace rather than jumping straight into the relationship. they’re going at a snails pace… they don’t know what they’re doing but they like this feeling and the vibe and they want to more of it but they’re not ready to commit to anything yet and it’s fine for them …!! and they’re only committing by the end in the graveyard scene where significant time has passed and they’ve learnt a little more about themselves and they’re both more confident about their own desires and also how they want to be loved.

like it is so fitting I think… and sweet… not to mention astarion being a high elf & a vampire and shri’iia being a drow, they have all the time of the world for themselves so I def think they would want to take their time. except if shri’iia turns into a mindflayer or drider by the end then that plan is out the window lol

#now I’m thinking who else I can romance with her .. maybe lae’zel ?? #since the thing with her is that she doesn’t get vulnerable in act 1 so the scenes where the romances #are kind of heart to hearts like shadowheart’s or karlach’s (😭😭😭) is out of the question since it doesn’t fit her … #like she’d rather sleep with someone first than actually get to know them 😭 hence astarion and lae’zel … #gale and wyll… I am hmmm about it on one hand her approval with wyll in act 1 is not even high enough 😭😭 #and I don’t think she can be sweet enough to chase after him in the party .. she was kind of like ok fine whatever when he said he’s not in #the mood … gale I think can be a contender .. I actually don’t know how his route goes so I’m not sure abt that … #but the thing is … she gets vulnerable LATER ..!! and why astarion’s romance work for her is i hc after their act 2 scene #they’re just in a situationship rather than actual relationship … like they’re dating (yes!) but also dating (hmmmm) #and it’s only in his last scene where they both lock in bc I think that’s enough time for her to process her OWN trauma and also for her #own character development … like she has to learn how to trust (ack!!!!) which is the thing that you don’t do when you’re raised in lolth’s #cult …. and her mistress manipulated her trust too so it’s even more nerve wracking for her bc she doesn’t want someone to have that power #over her again .. but now she has to learn how to give it away freely … without being scared … bites my hand …!!!! #and astarion graveyard scene where he wants to live again vs shri’iia learning how to trust again and trying to live without the fear of #someone betraying you and using you and the paranoia that comes with it … urck urgh goughhhhhh critical hit … #also I have a hc that she actually is quite good at making poisons since her mother sold alchemy herbs and components #and she gives him poison as a courting gift lol .. also like a way to protect him 🤭 but she won’t admit that … she’s like if you want it #take it if you don’t idc 🤷‍♀️ (she does..) i hc that she gets flustered at sincerity actually #their relationship for me is like they’re both two little shits and a general menace to society (both charlatans) #but if they had to hold hands she’d get too flustered too and he’s like honestly what are you a child? (smug face making fun of her) #I have this little comic idea for them when they held hands for the first time and she’s like ouggghhh 😳😮‍💨 flustered and sweating and he’s #like hihi 🤭😎 but then their hands starts to get sweaty and then he’s like ew that’s disgusting and she’s like ok if u hate it let go then #and he’s like no YOU let go 🙄 but they don’t let go now they have to suffer through the sweaty hand holding alas such is fate …

[storywolf]

idk if im too ace for this but omg early game flirting from a lot of characters really makes me want to run in the opposite direction 😂 guys, guys i love you, but pls chill for five seconds and stop talking about how my character smells/tastes please-

#directly stares at astarion gale and lae'zel #i love them and i will endure it for them but im also mildly dying here #my first playthrough i did a karlach romance and i dont remember anything from that that gave me the ick #i haven't done a shadowheart or wyll romance yet but i know wyll is super sweet so im looking forward to that #📚 ooc // i’ll probably be awake to 3am for no reason #(this isn't serious complaining btw) #(like yes if i get gale talking about how he likes my musk again #or astarion calling my tav 'my little treat' again #i may die of embarassment #but i am mostly joking and i do find it funny)
